Town-Watch Fiasco

Trayvon Martin didn’t have to die. The police should have been allowed to do their job and if that had happened, he would have gone home and maybe the next time we heard the name Trayvon it might have been Trayvon, PhD, Senator Trayvon or President Trayvon of the Republic.

Unfortunately, an over – zealous neighborhood-watch captain took matters into his own hands killing an unarmed and frightened child.

However, when law enforcement did get involved, they let the perpetrator of this ghastly crime go home; case closed. How can this be? Have we become so apathetic about African American teens that when they are murdered it is somehow their fault; that violence is part of their nature and follows them wherever they go?
